The New York City police officer accused of plotting to kidnap, rape and cook at least 100 women pleaded not guilty at his arraignment federal court on Monday.

The plea follows Gilberto Valle's Friday indictment on charges of conspiracy to commit kidnapping, meaning he could be sentenced to life in prison if convicted in what his defense has argued was only a 'fantasy.'

The six-year married veteran also faces a maximum of five years for illegally accessing the National Crime Information Center database to collect potential victims' address according to investigators.

Valle, 28, who works in Harlem, was
arrested by the FBI for the heinous plans in October after his estranged
wife reportedly tipped off police.

Though his two previous bids for bail were denied after a judge's ruling that he posed a danger to the community, his attorney Julia Gatto, made another application for bail at Monday's arraignment which will be heard Tuesday.

Judge Paul Gardephe told her she would have a 'hard row to hoe' to prove Valle should be granted bail.

Among the evidence concerning judge's are documents showing Valle had clear and convincing intent to carry out his plans.

One such document on Valle's computer was
titled 'Abducting and Cooking (Victim 1): A Blueprint,' according to the
criminal complaint. The file also had the woman's birth date and other
personal information and a list of 'materials needed' - a car,
chloroform and rope.

'I was thinking of tying her body
onto some kind of apparatus ... cook her over low heat, keep her alive
as long as possible,' Valle allegedly wrote in one exchange in July, the
complaint says.

Emails, computer files, and fetish
chats were retrieved from the NYPD officer’s computer. None of the women
was harmed, although a prosecutor said some of the women knew Valle and
he had stalked at least two of them at home or work - once in his
police car in a 'very intimidating fashion.'

In other online conversations,
investigators alleged, Valle talked about the mechanics of fitting the
woman's body into an oven, noting that the women’s legs would have to be
bent, and discussed how 'tasty' one woman looked.

'Her days are numbered,' he wrote,
according to the complaint. That woman told the FBI she knew Valle and
met him for lunch in July.

Public defender Julia Gatto had asked for bail Friday, saying the Valle was only guilty of a 'deviant fantasy.''

There's no actual crossing the line from fantasy to reality,' Gatto
said. 'At worst this is someone who has sexual fantasies about people he
knows and he talks about it on the Internet,' according to the AP.

But Valle was arrested because he was
too close to carrying out the 'grotesque and disturbing' plots,
Assistant U.S. Attorney Hadassa Waxman said. He had 'plans to kidnap,
rape, torture, kill and eat the body parts of young women, some of whom
the FBI has identified and they acknowledge knowing the defendant for a
period of time,' she said.

Valle, a graduate of the University
of Maryland, where he studied psychology and criminal justice, was
suspended from the police force after his arrest.

Scene: FBI searched his apartment in Forest Hills, Queens (pictured) and allegedly found lists of women on his home computer. One file was named: 'Abducting and Cooking [victim's name]: A Blueprint'

He allegedly created files on his
personal computer containing at least 100 women with at least one photo
of each, details of their physical characteristics and lists of their
addresses.

He even
allegedly had a file named 'Abducting and Cooking [victim's name]: A
Blueprint' containing information including the woman's name, date of
birth, height, weight and bra size.

FBI
agents tracked down 10 of his named victims who said they knew him.
Phone records showed he was once outside the home of one woman, who told
investigators that she hardly knew him.

'I love that she is asleep right now and does not have the slightest clue of what we have planned. She looks tasty doesn't she?'

Email allegedly by Gilberto Valle

In
another eerie message, Valle, who is believed to have married in June,
wrote that his knowing the victims would lead to a 'flawless' abduction
as his arrival 'will not alert her', the complaint noted.

His co-conspirator, who has not been named, responded with equal excitement at the plans.

'I love that she is asleep right now not have the slightest clue of what we have planned,' Valle allegedly wrote, ABCreported. 'Her days are numbered... She does look tasty, doesn't she?'

His alleged co-conspirator responded: 'You do know if we don't waste any of her, there is nearly 75 lbs of food there.'

Their
bizarre relationship only became more deranged as Valle allegedly
offered to sell a woman to the other plotter in February for $5,000 so
that he could rape and kill her.

But Valle said he would only deliver the
woman and would not get involved in the rape as 'I don't want to be
tempted the next time I abduct a girl', he wrote, prosecutors said.

He allegedly added that the co-conspirator needed to ensure her body was not found.

Valle is not known to have engaged in any of these plans, an officer told the New York Timeson condition of anonymity. No women were harmed, the FBI confirmed.

It is believed he has a young child; his estranged wife has commented on Facebook about needing a babysitter, while theNew York Daily Newsnoted that his home appeared to be child-proofed.

Valle was suspended on Wednesday and arrested by the FBI, who worked in conjunction with the NYPD on the case, on Thursday.

He is due to appear in a federal
court in Manhattan later today on charges of conspiracy to kidnap and
access of unauthorised computers.

'The allegations in the complaint
really need no description from us,' Mary E. Galligan, the F.B.I. acting
assistant director, said in a statement. 'They speak for themselves. It would be an understatement merely to say Valle’s own words and actions were shocking.'

NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly called the case 'bizarre' in a statement.

He added: 'We suspended the officer immediately upon his arrest, and a review is now underway to determine whether there was anything in his background that should have alerted the department to his alleged proclivities.'

A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT: THE 'CANNIBAL COP'S PLANS'

A
criminal complaint outlines alleged online communication between
Gilberto Valle and co-conspirators (CC1 and CC2), which are excerpted
below:

CC1: How big is your oven?

Valle:
Big enough to fit one of these girls if I folded their legs. The
abduction will have to be flawless... I know all of them... I can just
show up at her home unannounced, it will not alert her, and I can knock
her out, wait until dark and kidnap her right out of her home.

CC1: You really would be better to grab a stranger. The first thing the police force will do is check out a friend.

Valle: Her family is out of state.

CC1: I have anesthetic gasses.

Valle: I can make chloroform here.

---

CC1:
It's really had to dislocate a jaw. Also, how would we put her over the
fire, spitting kills the girl. Have to put her into a kind of cage.
What is your favorite cut of meat?

Valle: I was thinking of tying her body onto some kind of apparatus... cook her over a low heat, keep her alive as long as possible.

---

Valle:
I love that she is asleep right now not having the slightest clue of
what we have planned. Her days are numbered. I'm glad you're on board.
She does look tasty doesn't she?

CC1: You do know if we don't waste any of her there is nearly 75 lbs of food there.

----

Valle:
It is going to be so hard to restrain myself when I knock her out, but I
am aspiring to be a professional kidnapper and that's business. But I
will really get off knocking her out, tying up her hands and bare feet
and gagging her. Then she will be stuffed into a large piece of luggage
and wheeled out to my van.

CC2: Just make sure she doesn't die before I get her.

Valle:
No need to worry. She will be alive. It's a short drive to you. I think
I would rather not get involved in the rape. You paid for her. She is
all yours and I don't want to be tempted the next time I abduct a girl.
